Cattle breeding company boss dies in accident

SYMPATHY was extended last week from throughout the dairy industry to the wife, children and family of Peter Daly, after his death in an accident near his farm in north Cork.

Mr Daly of The Island, Kiskeam, Co Cork had represented the Livestock Improvement Co-op of New Zealand in Ireland for a number of years, before setting up New Zealand Genetics (Ireland) Limited six years ago as a joint venture with the parent company.

Last December, the parent company had purchased the majority share from Mr Daly, who continued to serve as Managing Director.
